Heavens! was she in delirium, in
fever? How pale and wan and wide
eyed she had grown! She must be
soothed and quoted at once. so he kissed
her as he perhaps had not in years, with
all the fervor of a lover.
''There! let that satisfy you. 1 did
not think a short separation would Sc
disturb us, Myra! Now tell me, who is
this?" nodding to the Baby Belle.
So she made a mighty effort-how
mighty who of you can appreciate?--and
told a simple tale of going to Farnham
to shop and 'kill time" and finding this
wee one SO forlorn; she told how her
heart hungered for the child, and then
she anxiously watched to see if he
would refuse to take the little one.
Said he with a sigh: "All right,
Myra; have the moon if you like-and
you can get it. She is a pretty child,
and l suppose a prattler would be
pretty about the house"
So all was calm. A child was given
home and love, a wOman's soul was
saved. the husbands honor and hap
piness preserved.
With another sigh this man who had
had such a narrow escape, turned to
his wife, saying: eyes, l am glad you
brought her, Myra; she seems a charm

The sin, the sorrow, the escape, the
danger, and the reaction had proven
too much for the overstrained nerves.

cerned it had been q very close caLt,-

oRsE-cHEsTNuTs-A FANCY.

My Heart, my heart,
To life did start,
And blossom with the blooming spring;
NY soul did move
With April love,
And grew with every greening thing.
Fair buds the beech
Too fair for speech
OF mine TO show it's changing mien.
How soft and slowi-
First a green glow,
And then a mist, a cloud Of green.
Soft covering they,
The ~tassels gray
That hang the willow branches all
ADd soft the blush
That pink doth flush
The apple-trees above the wall
Not so, not so,
MY love did grow
As these do sprout-invisibly;
Scarce can one tell,
Nor reckon well,
The day, the hour, their birth did see.
But mark the way
That long ere MAY
The fans do clothe the chestnut-trees;
On each curved twig
The buds grow big,
And shlneth bronze-like in the breeze.
To-day it's sheathed,
Tomorrow breathed
Upon by ever wind of morn,
And the tree stands
With thousand hands
Oh young green, since the midnight born
And so,-yes, So
My love aid grow,
Fed by the breezes and the sun,
Till, bathed in the dew,
My spirit knew
Its fragant summertime begun.
In thy sweet eyes
My sun did rise;
Thy voice made April wind pufs rude,
And at its call
My longings all
Fullbudded into lovings stood.
One day, one hour,
All in the power
OF love ld sought not mastered me,
And all my mind
No thought could find
Not green with new born hopes of the e.

The Effect of Its 1mproyemeuss IN
Other Expenditures.
The estimated cost OF the New Jersey avenue
improvement Is 600. This work, the District
authorities consider under the terms OF the act Of
appropriation, must be done. As the total amount
appropriated for the improvement Of streets in the
northwest section Is $4,000 there win
be available but $4,000 for the
improvement OF other streets and
avenues In that section. A conclusion. based on
the bids received for street pavements prior to
July, 1856, Is that the standard asphalt may Be
practically excluded this year, and that the dis.
tliate pavement will have to be laid in every in.
stance where concrete pavements are called for.
